McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair University of Minnesota, USA
Research Interests and Expertise in Computational Chemistry
Development of novel quantum chemical methods for strongly correlated systems. Combination
of first-principle methods with classical simulation techniques. The applications
are focused on the computational design of novel materials and molecular systems for
energy-related challenges. Special focus is devoted to modeling catalysis and spectroscopy
in molecular systems; catalysis and gas separation in porous materials; photovoltaic
properties of organic and inorganic semiconductors; separation of actinides.
